You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Use the point slope form of the line.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where $\"x%5B1%5D=-4\"$ , $\"y%5B1%5D=-17\"$ and $\"m=3\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-%28-17%29=3%28x-%28-4%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y%2B17=3%28x%2B4%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=3x%2B12-17\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=3x-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Verify your intial point.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-17=3%28-4%29-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-17=-12-5%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-17=-17\"$
\n" ); document.write( "True statement.
